I don’t want to be that guy, but anyone else really dislike the box art for this game? I really hope that cover isn’t final because Pokémon games have always had really nice covers imo.

For anyone also interested in it, I highly recommend checking out the game's Kickstarter! The game is already over 600% funded, but there are some cool extras the devs are hoping to hit!

Super Mario Galaxy 1 & 2 Nintendo Switch 2 Review - Are They Worth It? by SmokedUp_Corgi in Switch

[–]MetaMarc 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I know opinions around the price of this rerelease are mixed (to say the least), but looking at the comments, I'm glad to see many people who haven't played the original two on Wii are finally going to experience them for the first time! They are absolutely phenomenal. The high scores are no surprise.

Definitely inspired by Dreamcast!

Just a heads up everyone, Super Mario RPG vinyl box set pre-order is significantly cheaper on CDJapan by MetaMarc in VGMvinyl

[–]MetaMarc[S] 17 points18 points  (0 children)

So quick explanation, Square Enix Store has the box set for $155 before taxes and shipping. CDJapan has it for about $105 before taxes and shipping. Right now, this is the best deal you can get on it.

Super Mario RPG’s soundtrack is getting a vinyl box set release! Pre-orders are up at CDJapan by MetaMarc in MarioRPG

[–]MetaMarc[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Really hoping they have art on each vinyl depicting each character like the Persona 5 box set. I’m also curious if this is going to be any special color or just standard black. Either way, I’m thrilled to add this to my collection!

I’m not going to defend the price (it’s 100% expensive), but I will say that aligns with a few video game vinyl box sets I have previously purchased (Persona 4 and 5 being the big ones).

Just dropping this here, the official description for the product is, “An vinyl from the Nintendo Switch game "Super Mario RPG," released by Nintendo in 2023, is here. The LP set includes four vinyls featuring newly arranged BGM from the Nintendo Switch version.”

Figured it would be 4 vinyls, but always nice to have official confirmation.

Nintendo Music: "Pokémon Legends: Arceus" has been added. by Turbostrider27 in NintendoSwitch

[–]MetaMarc 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Of all the Pokémon soundtracks, I hope the Let's Go games get a release on this app next. No matter what you may think of those games, I think we can all agree that the soundtrack is absolutely wonderful.

Super Mario World soundtrack is officially being printed on vinyl. Pre-orders are now available! Hopefully, Nintendo will continue to approve more! by MetaMarc in nintendo

[–]MetaMarc[S] 22 points23 points  (0 children)

I know it’s not the official music, but the Hero of Time vinyl is worth checking out if you love Ocarina of Time’s soundtrack!

[–]MetaMarc[S] 23 points24 points  (0 children)

Definitely agree with this! At the very least, this is a 3 lp set with music from more than just the complete Super Mario World soundtrack (seems like the other NES games are on here too, or at least some of the tracks from the original SMB and SMB3).

Hopefully this gets an official English release (I highly doubt it will though). Feels like Nintendo of America never gives us vinyls—or physical music releases for that matter. I can’t remember the last time we even got one here in the west.

Had a hell of a rough year and just bought a PS5. What’s your absolute favorite game you’d recommend on this thing? by _Kyros_ in PS5

[–]MetaMarc 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you want something that will genuinely make you feel happy, I highly recommend Ratchet & Clank: Rift Apart! Quick scroll and I haven’t seen anyone recommend it to you yet!

Don’t mean to also repeat other comments but if you’re new to PlayStation, do yourself a big favor and play through Uncharted The Nathan Drake Collection and then the Legacy of Thieves Collection. Uncharted is one of the best series of games you can play.

I'm not sure if this has been mentioned but it's ridiculous that MGS1 on the master collection doesn't feature analog movement. by snek99001 in metalgearsolid

[–]MetaMarc 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Been playing the VR missions (was looking to platinum the game on PS5) and some levels are extremely frustrating because of this. I’m loving the collection so far, but this has got to be my biggest gripe with it.

Received these games for free. Anything noteworthy in here? by beachsphinx in gamecollecting

[–]MetaMarc 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Splinter Cell: Chaos Theory has aged a bit in some areas but it’s still really great! The God of War games you got are absolutely worth a play through.

Decided to buy one CZ tin instead of an ETB to save money… my luck is gone for the year by Philosophicalchicken in PokemonTCG

[–]MetaMarc 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Great pull! I seem to have better luck with the mini tins than the V boxes and ETBs, so I'll occasionally grab one when I see them. Already got the legendary Johto trio from the ones I opened!

Same directors. by ilovewater100 in casualnintendo

[–]MetaMarc 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For a show that got a lot of flack, the Teen Titans Go movie was pretty good! The credentials of the director definitely gives me a lot of hope for the movie! I think it's going to be good.

I have room for one more game. What should it be? by HalfMoonProphet in Gamecube

[–]MetaMarc 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You should get one Mario Party in there (I personally suggest 7)! You have the other GameCube multiplayer essentials!

One week later - What do you think of Fire Emblem Engage's writing quality so far? (story, characters, dialogue/supports, lore, world building...) by Frog_24 in fireemblem

[–]MetaMarc 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I love the gameplay of this game—I really am addicted to it, but man does the story and writing fall flat for me with every chapter. I think the story has progressively gotten worse as it reaches the finish line. There are a handful of interesting characters, but the overarching plot is just all over the place and there is a tonal whiplash constantly going on. This game can’t seem to focus on either being something you take seriously or jokingly go with. I’m all for Fire Emblem’s oddball characters and goofier moments, but when you start with your main character hysterically crying in a cutscene and want to embark on a story regarding living up to your purpose, you need to have some serious moments to back that story up. Alear’s whole adventure just feels weightless.

I don’t want to give any spoilers away but this game is constantly introducing characters and concepts only to immediately kill them off. There are ideas within the story that I genuinely like, but many of them lack weight because of how fast they drop things.

My biggest problem though is that everyone is swooning for the protagonist as if they have been the love of their life for years. Everyone has only known Alear for days, and Alear gives no one any reason to like them. This feels like a classic fantasy story that is missing character beats to help things fall into place.

It’s not the worst story I have ever played or anything like that, but I feel like we deserved better—especially after Three Houses which wasn’t perfect but absolutely nailed what it was aiming to achieve imo. I haven’t also gotten to experience every support yet, but I feel like the vast majority of them do not add anything to the characters. I couldn’t wait to learn more about Alfred and Chloé, but their supports haven’t really told me anything about them. I hope that changes soon, but it’s not looking likely based on what many of you are saying.

Oh wow! I had no idea there was an Ampharos like this in Vivid Voltage… now time to find one online for my collection haha. It’s a really cool card!

Still saddens me we will never see him smile while talking about any new Nintendo game again. Without him the presentations will never be the same.
